Sustainable Development Goals

the 17 goals

Areas We Focused On

Throughout our time as a group, we have covered a wide range of ideas incorporating the sustainablity goals. While not all our ideas are displayed, these are some of our best, which together cover 14 out of the 17 goals.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells

What Do Fuel Cells Do?

In 1965, Gemini V launched - the first spacecraft to use fuel cells. These fuel cells create electrical power through chemical reactions, drinking water being made as a byproduct.

Whilst in England, we have easy access to electricity and clean water, other countries do not have this privilege.By funding hydrogen fuel cells for countries lacking clean water and electricity, we can improve the quality of life for citizens, socially, economically, and environmentally.

Why Fuel Cells?

Why Fuel Cells?

Places This Could Help

The Republic of Chad

Chad has one of the lowest rates of electricity, with only 6.4% of the population having access to it. Along with this, 57% of the population do not have access to clean, drinking water.

Democratic Republic of Congo

In Congo, 57% of the population does not have access to clean water - this means that 33 million people in rural areas do not have easy access to drinking water. Along with this, only 27.42% of Congo's people have access to electricity.

Tanzania

Over 24 million people in Tanzania have been affected by the water crisis there, almost half the population. Along with this, only 39.90% of Tanzania has access to electrictiy.

Tackling Light Pollution

Light pollution occurs due to excessive light brightening the night sky. This comes in various forms, including: glare, skyglow, and clutter. Light pollution disrupts ecosystems, wastes energy, interferes with astronomical research, and has negative health effects for humans and animals.

What is Light Pollution?

As individuals, it's important to take the right steps to reduce the light pollution we contribute to by: • Adjusting lighting to only be in the area/ as bright as we need it to be, • Reducing unnescessary outdoor lighting, • Using timed and dark-sky-friendly lights, However, as individuals, we can only reduce so much, and this is why we need to work together.

Sustainable Farming and Food

the statistics

What Is Food Waste?

Every year, 2.5 billion tonnes of food is wasted across the world, as shown in a study by the World Wildlife Fund and Tesco, and this amasses to 40% of all food being made for human consumption. Because of this, more than 5.8 billion meals are wasted a year.

How do we minimise food waste?

Our Three Step Plan

Storage of Food

We could make store bought meals dehydrated for easier transport, and longer shelf lifes to prevent food being thrown out because of short sell by dates.

Fertilising Soil

Chemical fertiliser creates a range of problems, including desertification, so instead we could implement a donation scheme of hair from hair dressers to be composted to make fertiliser.

Genetically Modifying Crops

We can genetically modify crops to prevent use of pesticides, to give health benefits, and longer shelf lives, so crops won't be wasted if not sold straight away.

We plan to move forward with these ideas in the future, and see how ideas discussed may come together to meet sustainable development goals. If we move on to the next round, we want to focus on efficiency and how realistic our ideas may be. We plan to test making hair compost/fertiliser ourselves to see the effects this has on soil versus chemical fertiliser, and also doing surveys on how frequently people go to hair dressers to get an idea of how available hair would be for compost.

Along with this, we plan to conduct research on the best ways to raise awareness on topics such as light pollution, and the lack of water/ electricity in other countries. We will: • Send out survey monkeys to see what methods of advertising draw people's interest, •Contact charities working towards similar goals to ask about fundraising for fuel cells in LICs, and implementating less polluting lights, •Use microchips to see how streetlights could have motion detecters, reducing light pollution.
